SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 678,696, dated July 16, 1901.

Application filed March 18, 1901. Serial No. 50,988. (No model.)

T0 (tZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY D. ScHUTTn, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ladies Collars, of which the following is a full and complete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of this invention is to provide a collar or collarette forladies which is designed for use in connection with the ordinary neckribbons which form the collar proper and which are wrapped around the collar and neck and secured in position, a further object bein g to provide a collar or collarette with means for holding the neck-ribbon in position and for preventing the same from slipping up.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by the same reference characters in each of the views, and in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective View of the head and shoulders of a lady provided with my improved collar or oollarette; Fig, 2, a view of the collar or collarette extended, and Fig. 3 a perspective view of an attachment which I employ in connection with the collar or collarette.

In the practice of my invention I provide a collar or collarette a, which is adapted to be buttoned around the neck in the usual manner, and for this purpose is preferably provided with three buttonholes b, and the said collar or collarette is provided at each side with raised portions 0, which are preferably curved or rounded in form at the top and in which are formed pockets cl, which open upwardly through the top of the raised portion 0. The pockets cl are much wider at the bottom ends thereof than at the top, and in these pockets I place an attachment c, composed of spring-wire bent centrally to form a loop f, which is directed downwardly and the sides of which are separated at g and bent downwardly and outwardly to form spring-arms h, which are in practice inserted into the pockets d. The spring-arms h of the attachment 6 diverge, as shown in the usual manner,.the first layer thereof being passed under said downwardly-directed loop or hook shaped portion f, and the following layers thereof are wrapped around over said portion. In this operation the pocket and the main body of the attachment are entirely concealed from View, and at the same time the device operates perfectly to prevent the neckribbon from slipping or moving upwardly,

Any suitable means may be provided for securing the attachment in the pockets at or said attachment to the collar or collarette, and my invention is not limited to the exact form of construction and arrangement of the various parts as herein shown and described, and I reserve the right to make all such alterations therein as fairly come within the scope of the invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A collar or collarette for the purpose de scribed comprising a narrow band adapted to encircle the neck and formed with upwardlyprojecting raised portions 0 at either side of the collar or collarette by means whereof a neck-ribbon surrounding the collar or collarette may be held in extended or elevated po sition at the side of the neck, fastening means connected with the said extensions or raised portions whereby to attach the neck-ribbon thereto and means upon the face of the said extensions or raised portions for engaging or retaining the fastening means, substantially as shown and described.

2. A collar or collarette provided with pockets which open upwardly, and removable attachments inserted thereinto and provided with downwardly and outwardly directed hook-shaped portions for holding a neck-ribbon in place, substantially as shown and described.

3. A collar or collarette provided at the sides with raised portions having pockets which open upwardly and ribbon-holding attachments adapted to be inserted into said pockets, substantially as shown and described.

4. A. collar or collarette provided at the sides with raised portions having pockets which open upwardly and ribbon-holding at tachments adapted to be inserted into said pockets, said attachments being composed of spring-wire having diverging arms and an outwardly and downwardly directed hookshaped portion, substantially as shown and described.

5. A collar or collarette provided at the sides with raised portions having pockets which open upwardly and a detachable attachment composed of spring-wire bent centrally to form a downwardly and outwardly directed hook and diverging spring-arms adapted to be inserted into said pockets, said pockets being wider at the bottom than at the top, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 8th day of March, 1901.
